The second cam you have listed (.502 .520 lift) would work great and probably make around 400hp. I would be sure to run a stall that was in the 2200 range though. If you wanted a little more torque, and wanted to run a stock stall, the first would be better. How heavy is the truck?

In that case, I think the first one would work best.
